Three good moments in the episode:

"Gee, I ONLY wrote the greatest comedy of modern time."
If you're going to be a one-hit wonder, that's the hit to make.

Davos brings the tension, which immediately makes the show better on a bunch of levels.

Tan was awesome. I spent the rest of the season hoping they'd find a way to bring him back.
And anything that cribs visually from Legend of Drunken Master is alright with me.

There's one moment in Con Air that almost—ALMOST—redeems the damn movie.

I'd watch that scene.

Danny's the kind of guy who tries to build the Ikea bed without reading the instructions first. It's not surprising that he took on this responsibility and these powers without fully understanding how they both work.

Liked Colleen's swagger there. She's badass, and she knows it.

Good call, Caroline. Danny lives in two worlds and he's not really at home in either. There's an interesting idea in there that just needs a better execution. Kind of the story of the series, honestly.

On the Meachums? I totally agree.
I wasn't super-clear there. I meant Colleen and Elektra.

That was what irked me about Elektra in Daredevil, too. Both of them started out as particularly interesting characters with their own distinct motivations and reasons for doing things, and both ended up as the "oh, I was trying to recruit you on behalf of someone else and fell in love with you" honeypots.

Adding Claire in there as an audience/real-world surrogate definitely helped the show unclench a bit.

I always liked that tension in the comic books. They've barely hinted at it over the course of the series: what Danny's sacred duties are vs. what Danny thinks his sacred duties are.

That's fair. It's just that this kind of approach seems to create stories that are a mile wide and an inch deep, you know? Some of that's down to the acting, but a lot of it's down to the plot.

They've consistently taken some less-interesting paths for the sake of expediency here, and it's a bit frustrating.

I'm up to 7 eps. It's above-average.

I always had a soft spot for Danny—especially Matt Fraction's version of him. He's a little dim and a bit of a flake, except when he's in a fight.

Oh, wow. This would be phenomenal. Michael Jai White as Quantum and Jason Bateman as Woody, please.

Sabretooth: "You jerk! You can't beat Sabretooth."

I'd watch a wacky sitcom episode consisting of Oliver and David stuck in the astral plane.
My favorite scene of the series so far.
